He was behind a little fence, so I'm not sure exactly how friendly he was, but he was very calm, cool, and collected. He paced back and forth with complete poise, like a model on a runway. It was so great.

Idiomatic sentences are my favorite part of a language: you learn so much about a culture through them! The literal translation in Italian of "ha un suo perche'" is "it is it's own why"... asking questions is at the beginning of all curiosity. Having your own "why" means you can stand your own questions, and find your own way. Lovely expression indeed. Grazie Tiziana for the reminder!
